    Retail sales jump 3% in January, smashing expectations despite inflation increase

    Retail sales rose 3% in January, easily topping the 1.9% Dow Jones estimate, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday.

    The numbers are not adjusted for inflation, meaning that consumers outpaced the 0.5% inflation rate for the month.

    Food service and drinking places, motor vehicle and parts dealers, and furniture stores led the sales increases.

    Retail sales decline more than expected

    Advanced retail sales data signaled that consumer spending slowed in March as shoppers faced mounting recession fears and turmoil in the banking sector.

    An advanced reading of retail sales showed a decline by 1% in March, greater than the 0.5% fall expected by economists surveyed by Dow Jones.

    This is going to be an interesting one to watch after student loans kick in again. All those places that cater to the trendy crowd are expected to see some headwinds.

    According to Morgan Stanley, retailers that have high exposure to student loan holders and sell discretionary products are likely most at risk, while retailers that have low exposure to student loan holders and sell essential products are likely most insulated. For example, Target, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Wayfair, and Williams-Sonoma may be more vulnerable to a decline in spending by student loan borrowers, while Walmart, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, O’Reilly, AutoZone, and Tractor Supply Co. may be less affected.

    Retail sales increased 0.7% in July, better than expected as consumer spending is holding up

    The advanced retail sales report showed a seasonally adjusted increase of 0.7% for the month, while spending increased 1% excluding autos. Both were better than the 0.4% estimates.

    July’s numbers were boosted by a 1.9% jump in spending at online retailers, while sporting goods and related stores increased 1.5% and food service and drinking places rose 1.4%.

    A separate report showed that import prices moved 0.4% higher in July, more than the 0.2% estimate. However, virtually the entire increase was driven by fuel prices.

    The Empire State Manufacturing Survey slumped 20 points in August to a reading of -19, though the index for future conditions posted a sharp gain.

    Retail sales rose 0.7% in September, much stronger than estimate

    Retail sales rose 0.7% on the month, well above the 0.3% Dow Jones estimate, according to the advance report the Commerce Department released Tuesday. Excluding autos, sales were up 0.6%, also well ahead of the forecast for just 0.2%.

    The numbers are not adjusted for inflation, so they indicate that consumers more than kept up with price increases. The consumer price index, released last week, showed headline inflation up 0.4% in September.

    Retail sales rose 0.3% in November vs. expectations for a decline

    Retail sales rose 0.3% in November, stronger than the 0.2% decline in October and better than the Dow Jones estimate for a decrease of 0.1%.

    Sales held up despite a 2.9% slide in receipts at gas stations, as energy prices broadly slumped during the month.

    Initial claims for unemployment insurance totaled a seasonally adjusted 202,000, lower than the 220,000 estimate.
